Day 11 - At Sea On Our Way To San Juan

Sail-ebrating

7/22/2024 (Monday)

It's morning and we were feeling the laziness levels hitting maximum capacity, and we didn't emerge from our comfy cave until a glorious 8:00 am when our breakfast made a heroic appearance.

After a cinematic masterpiece on TV and a thorough scrubbing session, we finally left our cabin around 9:00 am to grace the concierge with our presence for breakfast #2.

As for the kids, well, we released them into the wild to fend for themselves!

I spent the day diligently chronicling the mundane events of my life in the daily diary while Mary pursued her thrilling hobby of needlepoint.

Working my fingers to the bone!

Our midday adventure involved moseying to the trough for a hearty lunch, after which we retreated to the cabin for a riveting movie marathon.  It was an action-packed day of absolute relaxation! At 5:00 pm., we began getting ready for dinner, which is a formal affair this evening. We wanted to go out early and get a couple of formal pictures taken, but we dilly-dallied and did not exit the cabin until 4:54 pm. when we had to run to the 6th floor and the dining room.

No idle fingers here!

When she smiles, the whole world smiles with her... and then everyone awkwardly waits to see if she is smiling at them or just at the person behind them!

All smiles!

We sat down at 5:30 pm exactly.  We beat the kids to the table, but they said they were waiting for us on the other side of the dining room!  Sure!

They spilled the tea on their day, and let me tell you, they were busier than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, attending more events than a kid in a candy store!  They made us tired just listening to their activities.  It is too bad that youth is wasted on the young!

Laughing and giggling can now commence!

We are ready for many laughs now that the kids have arrived.

Are you sure I can't jump in???

After destroying the lenses on several cameras, we went to O'Malleys and had a smidgen of alcohol while we pounded the table to their latest tunes.

We called Becky and wished her a happy birthday; the four of us sang happy birthday, but the Lord only knew what it sounded like in Arizona against the backdrop of wild Irish music.

Happy Birthday, Becky!

'Me?"

They kept playing, and we kept clapping and yelling the lyrics. The artists came to our table, looked me in the eye, and had the nerve to ask if that was me singing or if I was stepping on a cat.
